Cracking/popping sound in ear
I have been having some popping/cracking noise behind my left ear drum. It's been there for more than 5 months now. I have consulted 3 ENT Dr. in Bangalore but no improvement. Sound occurs only when I swallow. It is painless and rarely feels heavy. No problem in hearing also. But this noise is becoming irritation and also more noticeable.Prev . Dr said it's because of some air pressure imbalance and suggested breathing exercises and steaming.Could not work though. please let me know what's wrong in my ear
